Now that we have someone like Terrence Williams back there, this team should strongly consider starting Jeff Green, whether it be at the 3, with Pierce at the 2, or at the 4 instead of Bass.

Not sure which is the best course of action at the moment.

I am strongly opposed to Pierce starting at the 2.

Available buyout candidates might dictate that a little. With the amount of guard talent we have, it no longer makes sense to start Pierce at the 2. It only ever made sense to me, because I thought we could combine some assets (including guards) to land a legit big. But since that didn't happen... let our guards do what they can do.

Still.. we're so weak at the bigs that I really would love to see Jeff get more minutes as a PF. He's one of our best players... he should be playing 38 minutes a night.

WHOA there, 38 minutes? I was pushing for 30. 38 is too much, we signed Terrence so he could spread out minutes for the playoffs. Let's not overplay any guys.

I definitely think Doc owes Green some more chances though. He's a starter on all but 6 teams in the league, give him starter-minutes at least though!

He's been playing 31 minutes per game since Rondo went down. That's starter level minutes.

Yep. I like that. 38 is Luol Deng level, no thanks!

Green might not start on a couple teams... but on Boston he's the 3rd best player. Why shouldn't our 3rd best player get 38 minutes a night?

Boy oh boy do I enjoy when a plan comes together. I merely wanted to see what it would look like if green started at PF and played 38 minutes...

I hope Green starts at PF from here on out. He's made huge strides in his ability to attack the rim the past month and a half and that should allow him to take advantage of PFs to the degree expected of him on paper. The guy who struggled to beat Spencer Hawes off the dribble earlier in the season is gone. I don't think it was just getting over the heart surgery because he wasn't that good attacking PFs off the dribble with Oklahoma either. I don't know why he's been better; he still goes right almost all the time but he's just been very effective. I doubt he would've played as well against Scola and Markieff Morris earlier in the season. The guy is ready to be a fantastic offensive mismatch.

Unlike when Carmelo and Lebron "play" PF, Green should actually be defended by PFs because of Pierce. With Bass almost giving nothing and refusing to play within himself, Green should be starting.

It will hurt our bench somewhat but a Green KG Bass frontcourt would be even better. Bass who is a mediocre rebounder at the four would be decent at the three. Move PP over to SG and see if KG and Green can protect the rim because guys are going to get around Bass and PP.
